COURT OF APPEALS.

John p. White, presiding Judge; j. NJ. Hurt
and Sam A. Wilson, judges; James l.. White
clerk; W. J.. Davidson, assistant attorney
general; NJ ". Johnson, bailif.
Hattie Huffmsn VS.. State, from Bell
county. Opinion by Hurt, j. The opin-
ion filed in the case OF the appellant.
decided at this term, is decisive of al
questions involved in this case. The
judgment below against sureties on the
appearance bond is reversed as to them
and affirmed as to appellant.
Francis Scott VS. the State, from Bexar
county; opinion by Hurt, j. Frank Har-
ris disappeared from his home in Bexar
county: two years thereafter a cave dis
closed the bones and clothing of human
being, which turned out to be the re
mains of Harris. All the facts pointed
out the appellant as one of the actors in
the crime. There was sworn applica-
ton for change of venue,
supported by the affidavit of
three compurgators. 1t was COM
petent to show by counter affidavit that
the COmpurgstors were not competent to
Judge whether appellant could get an
impartial trial, which was done by seven
representative citizens of the county
The evidence of Circumstanial, but very
cogCnt, it was conflicting in some re-
spects especially as 10 proving an slibi,
but the Jury have passed upon the con-
ficting testimony and returned a verdict
sustained by the states witnesses, which
we believe support it. Judgment af-
trmed.
John Names VS.. the State, from Falls
county; opinion by White, P. j. Errors
are confessed by appellee in this case
sufficient TO reverse the Judgment. APP
pellant was convicted of perjury as q
witness upon the trial of Joe Myers for
stealing steer. There are several er-
rors assigned in allowing the Introduction
of conversation between the different
witnesses. At these conversations neither
Myers nor appellant were present, and it
is clearly hearsay and not admissible
Again it was error to permit the intro
duction OF "thrests" in evidence against
one Morris, q witness, because the appel
liant had nothing to do with the threats,
and their introduction was preiudicial to
him. II was not correct TO introduce the
record CT the proceedings at the Myers
trial, such evidence being admissible as
nducement, though not to prove perjury.
For the several errors the judgment is
reversed and the case TemauCed.
Cruz Rodriguez VS.. State, from Uvalde
Coun:y; opinion bY Wilson, j. This is q
conviction of murder III the hrst degree.
There are several errors assigned by sp-
pelIs1t. ID 1t was not error 10 over
rule the motion TO qussh venires because
the sheriff showed due diligence 10 o.
tain every person named, and it was
proper for the judge to allow him TO
amend his return. @ The asking
of leading questions of the
woman Contreras was permissible as
she was so very ignorant as 10 come
within the exception. While it was er-
ror TO ask leading question of witness
Patterson, yet 1t Is not showed that there
was any prejudice thereby to appellant.
49, 1t was not error to reject written

terry, took place this afternoon. The
preparations had Oeen carefully
made and were carried out with
out q hitch After the opening exer-
cises of music and prayer and few
remarks by the officers of the Press Club,
Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew delivered the
Grafton OF the day. He spoke of the
change III the relations Of individuals
brought about bV tae great advance Of
the age, and the Capitalization Of indus
try in the large cities, and said it was
most necessary that the organization
should see that the poor Of their craft
had suitable place for burial. He re-
ferred TO the reportorial corps in the
highest terms, as body that had fur
nished the most powerful influence of
modern thought. From it have
come not only editors. but con-
tributors to our literature whose
names are immortal. The reporter, with
no incentive but his duty, outdoes the
soldier and telegrephs to his paper &C
counts that electrify the world, but bears
no signature. 1t was only in exceptional
cases that newspaper man received his
due. There were times in the lives of
Greeley and Raymond when they would
have filed nameless graves if they had
died. Although the casual reader sees
in the daily Journal only an impersonal
expression of popular feeling, the Press
Club monument will serve to make him
think more of the men behind the pa
pers.
An address was also delivered by
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage. DR.. Talmage
believed there were means of CommUnica-
ton between this world and the next ana
that the newspaper men who hsd gone
before had heard with pleasure Of this
gathering on Cypress Hill. The public
made g CREST demonstration of gladness
over the reduction of cent in the price of
their mornings paper, but in their glori-
fication Of the nickel little was thought of
the newspaper man behind. The
poets corner in Westminster
Abbey was an attempt at 9
monument for the miseries of Grub
street, but he believed in less "epitaph-
ology" post mortem, and better treat
ment gnte mortem. The monument was
good, but had come little too late.
They had asked for bread and we have
given q stone. DR.. Talmsge paid high
tribute to the press and the good it had
done the pulpit and in carrying morals
of Christianity.
Prayer was offered by Rev. S. Ans
worth, D. d and the exercises con-
Guided with the singing of the Doxolagy
by the Amphion chorus and the audience.

Weather and Crop Bulletin,

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The United
States Signal Officers have issued the
following weather and crop bulletin, for
the week, ending June II, 1881:
Temperature-The weather has been
warmer than the weekly average in all the
AGRICULTURAL districts east of the Rocky
mountains, except in the Atlantic states
from Maine southwark to Virginia and
Southern Texas. This excess of tempera-
ture for the week has been greatest in the
corn and wheat regions of the northwest,
where the average daily excess ranged
sDove the normal from I to 8 the latter
excess in Eastern Dakota. The condi-
lions are more favorable in the present
stage of crops. In the Cotton Belt the
excess of temperature averaged from
TO- to Is daily, save in Texas,
where the temperature has been about
normal. The tobacco regions had
weather from ! TO . warmer than usual
10 the westward of the Allegheny noun
tsins, while to the eastward it has been
from l to colder. The temperature
since January mas been substantially nor
nal in the Atlantic states, and from New
York westward to Michigan, while a
slight deficiency of less than l daily
las existed in the grain district. a
seasonal excess OF temperature, aver
aging from to daily, has prevailed
over the Ohio, lower Missouri and lower
Mississippi valleys during the past six
weeks, which has been important,
especially for the grain growing
districts. The temperature has been
steadily in excess over the corn and
wheat regions and has been nearly
stationary in the cotton belt, which con-
ditiOn must have been most beneficial to
crops.
During the week the rainfall has been
slightly deficient in the agricultural dis
triCts except from Western Penn
svivania southwestward to Kansas and
the Indian Territory, where 8 slight in
crease has fallen. Showers have been
numerous and well distributed save in
q few instances of q local nature only.
The large seasonal deficiency of precipi-
lgtion over the cotton belt has
been mitigated by recent rains
which have been well distributed and Of
timely occurrence. Over all the sgriCul-
tursl districts the weather of the week
mas apparently been favorable for impor-
tsnt crops, ! marked deficiency of tenn
perature occurring in localities of sec
OndarY importance as regards staples.
South of the thirty-ninth parallel, where
presumably gram harvesting is now
general, the weather has been favorable
for that work, as no general rains have
fallen or high winds occurred, while sun
shine has been al or above the average.
Local rains have fallen in the past eight
hours, or are predicted, from Minnesota
east TO Michigan, where they will be
timely and beneficial to the growing

lowed Taylor worSsed them both. Next
day as Taylor came TO the camp ne
found two more Mexicans, and before
he was aware of their intentions the four
made an attack on him. Three
had knives and one 4 six-shooter,
while Taylor was totally unarmed, his
Winchester being in mis- wagon. Taylor
is al athletic young man, and in the scuf-
fe that followed he got possession Of the
six-shooter, and immediately turned the
tables. Shooting with lightning rapidity,
he killed three of his would be murdeTers
hand running, and as the fourth started
to run ne sprang into MS wagon, secured
his Winchester, and with deadly sim shot
the last of his ASSISTANTS through and
through at distance Of 15O yards, infict-
ing necessarily fatal wound. Taylor

The celebration of Memorial Day takes
on yearly gentler significance as the
hardships to which it owes is origin
move farther backward into the past and
the grjefs whose memory It perpetuates
grow softened by the COM

is none the less OF patriotism
in the ceremonies of to-day, but there is
far less of bitterness than once. When
it has come that the graves of southern

GATEsyILLE, TEX, June Son Tues
day evening there was joint debate in

Colonel Anderson of Waco. Mr.. Nc
Doweu opened the debate for the ants
in an hours speech, following strictly in
the line of debate adopted by the True
Blues, in the discussion of the prohibit
DRY amendment. A large crowd was
present. He was listened to especially
When Colonel Anderson arose to reply
he was greeted with loud applause, but
soon the harmony of the meeting was
destroyed by the most Gisgrsceful occur
renee that ever was known in Gainesville.
The ants began to hiss and whistle and
groan, and in every way disturb the
meeting and the speaker. This continued
for quite awhile, until Mr.. Mcdowell was
repeatedly requested to stop it, and told
that If he did not others would do So
that it had to stop. He then requested
his friends to desist. After this the meet
ing W Mt on respectfully. Mr.. Mcdowell
presented his cause well, and Colonel
Anderson replied in q diguifed manner
and ably. The speakers were courteous
to each other. Court was IN session and
people from al parts OF the county were
present.
